Python is usually pretty readable. SAS is one of the worst languages of all time

Love SAS.

Python wishes it were PHP.

they all wish they compiled and ran as fast as Go

but they don't, and can't, because Go was built by the most galactic brainz in language dev in the world

"But garbage collection bad"

Compilation is overrated.

it's really not

latency is the main reason, if your task is throughput and not latency then ok

Isn’t SAS kinda dead or dying?

SAS is the COBOL of analytics. It won't die until the dinosaur companies still using it do.

I miss COBOL and endless paper needle printers.

It's all been downhill from there.

Hmm that makes sense. So expensive!
